No, this device wasn't lost in a bar and recovered by a tech news blog. And, no, Tim Cook didn't accidentally attach this photo in an outgoing email to the press.

This isn't literally the next-gen iPhone. But it may be what the forthcoming iOS 6-powered smartphone will look like, assuming these detailed and otherwise impressive image renderings out of China are accurate.

On Wednesday, the images above and below surfaced after a Chinese media source compiled images of various next-gen iPhone components that have already been leaked to the web. As you can tell from the artist renderings, it appears that an elongated device is in the works with a bigger screen.

The main component of the imagined aesthetics is the back cover of the smartphone - supposed photos of which turned up online just last week as rumors swelled that Apple would unveil the iPhone 6 at WWDC. Of course, we can now squelch that rumor. But we do know that another iPhone has either already gone into production or will very soon. And that means we are bound to see more leaked images and renderings in the weeks to come.

This looks exactly the same as the 4/4s which they said it will look completely different. Plus Steve jobs is probably rolling over in his grave at the possibility of a larger screen. Apple really is losing their touch.
